  Mrs. HARSHBARGER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Electrician's 
Mate 3rd Class Richard Alan Danculovich of Jefferson City for his 
valiant military service during the Vietnam War. Following in his WWII 
veteran father's footsteps, EM3 Danculovich's dedicated service in the 
United States Navy began on November 29, 1965, at the RTC Great Lakes 
for Bootcamp and later EM-A School for electrician training.
  Upon completion of his naval training, EM3 Danculovich served aboard 
the U.S.S. Piedmont (AD-17), ported out of San Diego, where he was 
assigned to the Electrical Repair Division. The U.S.S. Piedmont (AD-17) 
was a Dixie-class destroyer tender that served and maintained all ships 
engaged in combat operations during naval battles. While aboard the 
U.S.S. Piedmont, EM3 Danculovich conducted electrical repairs on ships 
in the Western Pacific region, including Pearl Harbor, the Subic Bay in 
the Philippines and Kaohsiung, Taiwan; and many of these ships 
previously spent months in service off the coast of Vietnam.
  After 3 years of distinguished military service, he was discharged 
from Active Duty in November of 1968. He is proud to share that his 
grandson continues the family tradition of military service in support 
of our country.
  Please join me in celebrating Electrician's Mate 3rd Class Alan 
Danculovich for his distinguished military service to the United States 
of America.
